Boeing to launch 787-10 with US$30b order haul

US planemaker Boeing will launch a larger version of its lightweight 787 Dreamliner this week with up to 100 orders worth just under US$30 billion (HK$232.8 billion), industry sources said.

The latest addition to Boeing’s fleet, the 323-seat 787-10, is partly designed to serve fast-growing routes within Asia and sharpens a fight with Europe’s Airbus for sales of the latest generation of efficient, carbon-composite jets.
